Forest Carbon number and Forest Carbon flux at regional level (North Ostrobothnia) in Finland
Forest Carbon number and Forest Carbon flux can be calculated at regional level similarly as at National level. In Finland the current (2020) available regional data of National Forest Inventories (NFI), however, is restricted only to two latest NFIs, for the periods 2009-2013, (central year 2011) and 2014-2018 (central year 2016). The regional data restriction is merely due to 1994 administrative decision to redefine the borders of Finnish regions in a new manner. After the reform the amount of Finnish regions is 19 . Let us take as example for calculations the region Pohjois-Pohjanmaa - North Ostrobothnia . By geography it is in central Finland. The amount of solid cubic meters in North Ostrobothnia forests was 240 million cubic meters in 2011 and 263 million cubic meters in 2016. Correspondingly, the area of forest hectares was 3.244 million hectares and 3.235 million hectares in 2011 and 2016, respectively (NFI 11 and NFI 12 inventories). With average Carbon Multiplier ...
